* The southwest hilltop spawns [[Stone]]s, [[Blacksmith|Ore]] nodes, and [[Minerals#Geodes|Geode]] nodes depending on the player's Mining level. If farm quarry is cleared, it will usually regenerate 7-13 items every 4th day, which appears to be the optimal day to clear the farm quarry.  The mining area may sometimes be blocked by a [[Large Stump]], [[Large Log]], or a [[Boulder]], making it impossible to enter until the player has the correct tool.
